Good build? Is it future proof for the next 2 years?
 
Looks OK for the most part, but the price on the GPU doesn't make sense and the link won't even work. If you get this you can bump the CPU up to a 4690k.

(only difference is 64MHz clock speed)

Even if you stick with the Giga G1, you'd be only $14 higher total price due to the error in the price on your list.
